Science of breath

Yoga is divided into several branches, ranging from that which teaches the control
of the body, to that which teaches the attainment of the highest spiritual
development. In the work we will not go into the higher phases of the subject,
except when the "Science of Breath" touches upon the same. The "Science of
Breath" touches Yoga at many points, and although chiefly concerned with the
development and control of the physical, has also its psychic side, and even enters
the field of spiritual development....

The Western student is apt to be somewhat confused in his ideas regarding the Yogis and their philosophy and practice. Travelers to India have written great tales about the hordes of fakirs, mendicants and mountebanks who infest the great roads of India and the streets of its cities, and who impudently claim the title "Yogi." The Western student is scarcely to be blamed for thinking of the typical Yogi as an emaciated, fanatical, dirty, ignorant Hindu, who either sits in a fixed posture until his body becomes ossified, or else holds his arm up in the air until it...

(BQ) Ebook Life science: Systems of the Human Body presents about how is your body’s circulatory system like a car’s fuel system? What are the sacs with thin walls that are at the end of the bronchioles called? If you hold your breath, what gas builds up in your blood?.

Biological sciences in nursing has seen a change in status over the last 20
years. As a nurse educator, I became aware that with the introduction of
the ‘nursing model’ all signs of biology were banished from the curriculum.
Anatomy and physiology were thought to be akin to the ‘medical model’,
and as such they fell outside the nurse’s territory. At all costs, nurses had
to be seen as autonomous practitioners in their own right.

At very high temperatures and constant heat loads even camels need to dissipate heat.
Many mammals achieve evaporative cooling through an increased respiratory rate rather
than by sweating. Respiratory cooling is relatively more expensive in water than is
sweating since faster respiration rates result in more energy being used. Normal
respiratory rates in camels are in the range of 6 to 11 breaths/min. (average 8) in the
Sahara. Under heat stress these increase to levels of 8 to 18 (average 16). Such low
respiration rates do not result in significantly increased evaporation. ...

Five months out from Earth, we were half-way to Saturn and three-quarters
of the way to murder. At least, I was. I was sick of the feuding, the
worries and the pettiness of the other nineteen aboard. My stomach
heaved at the bad food, the eternal smell of people, and the constant
sound of nagging and complaints. For ten lead pennies, I'd have gotten
out into space and tried walking back to Earth. Sometimes I thought
about doing it without the pennies.

"Dave Hanson! By the power of the true name be summoned cells and
humors, ka and id, self and—"
Dave Hanson! The name came swimming through utter blackness,
sucking at him, pulling him together out of nothingness. Then, abruptly,
he was aware of being alive, and surprised. He sucked in on the air
around him, and the breath burned in his lungs. He was one of the
dead—there should be no quickening of breath within him!

To the greatest motivator there ever was, Mr. Rodney Mercado, child
prodigy, genius in 10 fields, and professor of music and violin at the
University of Arizona.
To Chuck Coonradt, who, unlike other consultants, not only talks about
how to motivate others, but has a proven system, the Game of Work,
that delivers stunning results and fun to the workplace in the same
breath.

Global agriculture is now at the crossroads. The Green Revolution of the last century that gave many developing countries such as India a breathing spell, enabling them to adjust the growth of their human populations better to the supporting capacity of their ecosystems, is now in a state of fatigue. Average growth rates in food production as well as factor productivity in terms of yield per unit of mineral fertilizer (NPK) are both declining.

"Over fifty thousand people heard Elsie Lincoln Benedict at the City Auditorium during her six weeks lecture engagement in Milwaukee."—Milwaukee Leader, April 2, 1921. "Elsie Lincoln Benedict has a brilliant record. She is like a fresh breath of Colorado ozone. Her ideas are as stimulating as the health-giving breezes of the Rockies."— New York Evening Mail, April 16, 1914. "Several hundred people were turned away from the Masonic Temple last night where Elsie Lincoln Benedict, famous human analyst, spoke on 'How to Analyze People on Sight.

The global environment is changing rapidly, partly in response to economic
globalization. These global changes are clearly evident at the local level, even in
the quality of air that people breath. In some high income countries air quality
has been improving, due to a combination of de-industrialization, improved
technologies and environmental regulation. However, advances in the science of
epidemiology suggest that even air that would until recently have been
considered ‘clean’ may contain pollutants that are hazardous to people’s health.

Unlike most first-time visitors entering the world headquarters of Biolathe,
Inc., Dr. Samuel Fisher didn't pause at the moist cloying air that
moved across the building’s threshold like breath. If anything, his pace
increased; he threw his shoulders forward and his streaker-clad feet
rushed as if to prevent a fall, sinking into the plush rose ruglings with
each step. Unlike the sunlit diamond and gold, seemingly mandatory in
corporate buildings, this lobby throbbed pink and organic. The entire
building was alive.

How can local, national, and international governments be made answerable to the people they govern instead of just the power elites? When major polluters of the atmosphere use political muscle to escape environmental controls, what can be done by the people who have to breathe the polluted air? When municipal sewage dumping or industrial waste fouls water that is vital to human health, how can people protect

The kids in my local bat-house breathe heavy metals, and their gelatinous
bodies quiver nauseously during our counseling sessions, and for all
that, they reacted just like I had when I told them I was going away for a
while — with hurt and betrayal, and they aroused palpable guilt in me.
It goes in circles. When I was sixteen, and The Amazing Robotron told
me he needed to go away for a while, but he'd be back, I did everything I
could to make him guilty. Now it's me, on a world far from home, and a
pack of snot-nosed jellyfish kids have so twisted my...

"Nothing ever happens to me!" Larry Manahan grumbled under his breath, sitting behind his desk at the advertising agency which employed his services in return for the consideration of fifty a week. "All the adventure I know is what I see in the movies, or read about in magazines. What wouldn't I give for a slice of real life!" Unconsciously, he tensed the muscles of his six feet of lean, hard body. His crisp, flame-colored hair seemed to bristle; his blue eyes blazed. He clenched a brown hammer of a fist. Larry felt himself an energetic, red-blooded square peg, badly...

IWAS climbing the steep side of a central Wisconsin hill, holding my bow away from my body for balance, when I first saw the stranger. He sat on a stump at the crest and watched me struggle up. As I drew nearer I panted out a greeting and received his cheerful "Hi" in return. When I finally reached the top, I threw myself on the ground and began catching my breath. He didn't say anything at first, just looked at the bow and the quiver of arrows on my back. Finally he said, "May I look at it?" and reached...

IT SEEMS unnecessary to say that my story began a long time ago, but I do not intend to be subtle. I am not clever and my lying is unpolished, almost amateurish. So I certainly could not be subtle, which requires both cleverness and an ability to tell the truth and a lie in the same breath. Let us turn back the clock a few ages. I was lying in the sun thinking of love. I understand that you human beings have an aversion to biological discussion, so I will not go into detail. But I must remind you that...

DOCTOR SPECHAUG stopped running, breathing deeply and easily where he paused in the middle of the narrow winding road. He glanced at his watch. Nine a.m. He was vaguely perplexed because he did not react more emotionally to the blood staining his slender hands. It was fresh blood, though just beginning to coagulate; it was dabbled over his brown serge suit, splotching the neatly starched white cuffs of his shirt. His wife always did them up so nicely with the peasant's love for trivial detail. He had always hated the silent ignorance of the peasants who surrounded the little college...

t was just a hunch. Johnson knew that, but his hunches had often
paid off in the past, and now he waited with a big man's patience. For
five hours he sat in the wooden stands, under the rumpled canvas the
concessionaires had put up to protect the tourists from Marlock's yellow
sun.
The sun was hot and soon Johnson's clothing was marked with large
soiled patches of sweat. Now and then a light breeze blew across the
stands from the native section and at each breath his nostrils crinkled in
protest at the acrid smell....
